| MGE ENJOY A RECORD MEDICA IN 2011 | ||
| Medica
was a very busy affair this year for MGE with a record number of enquiries
on our stand. The main attraction was our new emergency portable suction
unit, the SAM e.p.s , which received a great deal of attention, all of
which was really positive.
On the stand we had 4 different e.p.s units showing off the various canister configurations, as well as powered wall brackets (for ambulance and hospitals), protective cases and a range of accessories and filters. Also on display were units from our Electrical and Pipeline suction ranges. Now that the show is over, we are going through all the enquiries and if you are waiting for information from us, we will be contacting you shortly. Thank you to everyone
who visited the stand this year and we look forward to seeing you again
at the next Medica show in 2012. |

| Technical Update | ||
| Medical
Device Directive (MDD)(93/42/EEC), which regulates the marketing and use
of medical devices in Europe, is potentially being revised to state that
all medical devices containing phthalates should be labelled as such from
2011. As DEHP (di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate) is the dominant plasticizer
used in PVC, this would therefore include any devices containing PVC components.
The revision to the directive has been proposed due to a concern over the phthalate’s effect on health. It is hoped that the implementation of a labeling system will help to phase out all medical equipment containing PVC products (especially with DEHP content), without imposing a ban on the substance. For this reason, MGE have taken pre-emptive action and begun removing any PVC components, where possible, from our SAM range of suction units. Our PVC tubing, both internally and externally, has already been replaced with silicon tubing, and plans are underway for replacing the units’ fascia labels. It is intended that by the time this proposed directive is due to take effect, all new MGE SAM units will be PVC free. For your information, spare part numbers and prices that relate to the tubing change from PVC to Silicon will remain the same. If
you would like further information, please feel free to contact me at

| New Water Seal Chest Drain | ||
MGE are pleased to offer a new Water Seal Chest Drain as an optional accessory to complement our range of Thoracic suction units. The water seal is fitted between the patient and the SAM thoracic unit, and provides a low resistance one-way valve that allows air and fluid to be pushed out of the pleural space by means of positive expiratory pressure, and prevents atmospheric air from being drawn back in. Water
Seal Chest Drains are fast becoming the product of choice for use after
cardiac and thoracic MGE’s new Water Seal Chest Drains are disposable, and are supplied in packs of 10 at a base price of £260.00. For your records, the new part number for ordering is MSP1382. For more

SAM 420LX and Hospy units will be supplied with a 1 litre polycarbonate,
autoclavable jar complete with blue lid and overflow protection valve,
plus a 1000cc disposable liner with a red lid. If you would like any further information on the new 420LX/Hospy 1 litre jar and liner system, please contact us on sales@mgelectric.co.uk |

| NEW CARRY CASE FOR THE SAM 420 | ||
|
A new grey carry case, designed to provide privacy and discretion to users of the SAM 420. Following a request from one of our customers who specialises in the private and home-user medical markets, MGE have designed a new carry case for the SAM 420 portable suction unit. Research has indicated that regular users of the SAM 420 in the community would like a new case to provide more discretion for the unit. The new grey carry case is designed to ‘disguise’ the SAM 420, helping to reduce its appearance as a piece of medical equipment. It provides total cover for the 420 and, in particular, prevents the collection vessel from being visible at all times and the front is easily detached and re-sealed as required. Our new grey case has been manufactured to the same specifications and high standards as our existing green case and as with the current version, allows for the SAM 420 to be transported using the fixed carry handle or an adjustable shoulder strap. Both carry bags can be purchased for new or existing SAM 420 units offering two choices depending on the individual needs and its intended use. For additional information on the new SAM 420 carry case and the SAM range of suction units, please contact Sara Holloway on tel +44 (0)1206 842244 or by email at marketing@mgelectric.co.uk |

| NEW TROLLEY FOR OPERATING THEATRE SUCTION | ||
| The
high volume capacity theatre suction trolley from MGE now available as
part of the SAM range. Following customer requests and feedback from a prototype displayed at MEDICA 2005, this carousel style trolley has been specially designed for operating theatre use where large volumes of fluid require suction. Designed for use with the SAM 50 pipeline range of suction regulators, the system offers high flow, high vacuum performance providing maximum collection capacity whilst using the minimum of theatre space. The
flexible design supports most disposable liner systems and ensures the
SAM 50 trolley can be used with 1, 2 or 3 litre collection vessels,
connected in series, in any combination providing a total collection
capacity of well over 30 litres. The ergonomic design has gone through
stringent testing to provide the required functionality with ease of
use for the operator and the robust trolley, mounted on anti-static
casters and of modular steel construction can withstand the rigours
of a theatre environment. The new SAM 50 suction trolley demonstrating a collection capacity of 30 litres will be available to view at MEDICA 2006 in Dusseldorf from 15 to 18 November where MGE can be found in hall 11, stand B67. For additional information or to receive details on MGE's SAM 50 theatre suction trolley and the SAM range, please contact Sara Holloway on tel +44 (0)1206 842244 or by email at sara.holloway@mgelectric.co.uk |
